Inspired by true events, the Broadway musical Buena Vista Social Club™ brings the Grammy® Award-winning album to thrilling life—and tells the story of the legends who lived it. A world-class Afro-Cuban band joins a sensational cast of musicians, actors, and dancers from across the globe for an authentic experience unlike any you’ve seen or heard before. Don’t miss this captivating tale of big dreams, second chances, and the unbreakable bonds of making music together.
Here is why we at Broadway Inbound think it’s a perfect show for student groups:
Buena Vista Social Club™ on Broadway offers not just special prices for student groups, but also an educational study guide containing topics for discussion surrounding a student group experience at the show. Groups can learn about Cuban dance, fashion, and different roles within the theatre. And the show is incredibly unique because the dialogue is in English and the music is performed in Spanish, so students will see a bi-lingual story on stage and the craft it takes to weave the languages together.
One teacher shared these comments after attending with their high school students:
“We attended Buena Vista Social Club and the show was nothing shy of incredible. Seeing our students dancing and singing along with the music, fully embracing the experience is something that is so incredibly special. This performance brought the story to life in such a way that allowed students to directly connect with their classroom learning. Powerful, impressive, and musical perfection – what more could we hope for!”
Many Broadway shows offer these types of educational study guides or educational resource sections on their websites, we keep ours easily accessible for anyone who might need them on a STUDY GUIDE page on our website. If you don’t see the show you are looking for on this list, let us know and we will help find resources for you.
